Gas Log Fireplace Installation

If you are upgrading your old fireplace or need to install gas logs in your new home, you should always hire a certified chimney contractor to handle the installation. Chimney technicians are trained to know the proper techniques, and they have all the right equipment for the job, whether is an insert for an existing masonry chimney or a factory–built unit. They will also know the correct type of flue liner to install with your new gas logs, and they will inspect your entire chimney system before the installation to make sure you have the right type of liner and chimney size.

When you call 2nd Generation Chimneys, you can be sure that our qualified technicians have the best training and equipment for your gas log installation. We proudly serve customers in the Minneapolis area and we put the safety of our customer first. Call us any time to learn more about our gas log fireplaces and installation services.

Venting & Gas Log Installations

Ventilation for your new gas log fireplace is paramount to your safety and the efficiency of your chimney system. Whether you are using an existing chimney, or installing a prefabricated chimney and firebox combination, our technicians know how to install any style or model. We will also inspect your flue liner and other components to make sure your new fireplace is compatible with your current chimney system. Installing gas logs should only be done by a contractor who is qualified to work with gas appliances. If these are installed incorrectly, or if the liner is not sufficient enough to vent the gases, dangerous carbon monoxide could leak into your home. Don’t take any chances; call one of our professionals to install your gas logs.

Fire Stops & Flashing

Metal flashings and fire stops are key to protecting you from carbon monoxide leaks and house fires. Not only does the flashing seal the opening in the roof for the chimney, it also helps prevent ventilation issues. Fire stops protect the insulation and other materials surrounding your chimney within the home from catching fire if there’s a chimney fire. Always hire a professional to check your flashing and fire stops, even if you installed the unit yourself. A chimney technician is trained to look for hidden hazards and can make recommendations to resolve any issues. Feel free to call us any time to inspect your chimney or to learn more about our installation services.

Gas Log Inserts

Gas log inserts can cause a number of safety issues if they are not installed properly or inspected by a chimney technician once they are installed. Gas inserts have special wiring and thermostat controls to prevent hazards, and these can short out if connections are loose or faulty. In addition, flue liners and dampers need to be checked to make sure that your chimney can vent the combustion gases safely and effectively. Efficiency is another concern when installing gas logs. Our chimney technicians have the training and tools to install and inspect any style of gas log insert. Don’t risk having a fire or other hazard by installing gas logs on your own. Call us no matter what your installation needs are.
